Alpheus Communications (News - Alert), provider of telecommunications and data center services for enterprises and carriers, announced low cost, value rich colocation and connectivity pricing for Enterprise customers.
The company has served carriers with the network architecture, price point and service, and its robust network is available to Enterprise businesses as part of new data center bundles.
